Homogeneous Manifolds in Codimension Two Revisited


Abstract


In this paper we study Riemannian homogeneous submanifolds of  Euclidean spaces in codimension two. If the index of relative  nullity of the second fundamental form is relatively low, we prove  that the submanifold is a product M_1^{m} \times {\bf R}^k where  M_1^{m} is either isometric to a sphere or to a compact  isoparametric hypersurface of the sphere or covered by S^{m-1} \times {\bf R}. For homogeneous Einstein manifolds we obtain a  complete classification which improves the result in [1].
